Yesterday a good old friend reminded me of the chats we citybuilders used to have and suggested that now we have a new citybuilding game at hand we should re-unite and also bring the new people together. So I've set up a channel like the good old days. :)
Here it goes :
-------------------
If you want to chat with fellow Children of the Nile prospective gamers, find out who is online, get a response real-time, ask someone here about their thoughts on a different game, or just ask about the weather and what kind of ice cream someone likes, there is a suggested place for Children of the Nile fans to talk about whatever they want: the #ChildrenoftheNile channel on gamesurge.net IRC.

Where is it?

The #ChildrenoftheNile IRC channel can be found at:

Server: irc.gamesurge.net Port: 6667 Channel: #ChildrenoftheNile

How do I get there?

From the web: gamesurge hosts a java IRC client that allows you to chat in the channel from your web browser. Head to http://www.gamesurge.net/chat/ - choose a nickname, enter your room as "#ChildrenoftheNile" (without the quotation marks), and click connect.

From mIRC or another IRC client: To connect to the channel with mIRC, you'll first need to add a gamesurge server to the server list. Click the Add button and then entering the server (either east.gamesurge.net or west.gamesurge.net) and port. After this is done, connect to this server, and enter #ChildrenoftheNile as the channel to join. If you need to enter a server name into other clients and gamesurge is not in the network list, you can enter irc.gamesurge.net for the IRC server name first.

Wait, back up: what is IRC?


Internet Relay Chat, or IRC, is a standard real-time chat service of the internet. To visit the #ChildrenoftheNile chat on IRC, you will have to use a special program for IRC chat or go through a java-based web version. The name of the IRC network that hosts the #ChildrenoftheNile channel is gamesurge. Visit http://www.gamesurge.net/ where you will find a link to the java chat, possibly along with links to IRC clients and some supplementary information about IRC.

There are several good IRC client programs out there. One very popular shareware program is called mIRC, which can be found at http://www.mirc.com/ There are also some good freeware clients; recommendations include Xircon and Trillian. IRC clients may be found at popular download sites, such as http://www.download.com/ and http://www.tucows.com/

(Credit for the original instructions goes to my good friend and fellow moderator Nataliiia )

This is a chance for us "oldies" from #Citybuilders to join up again. It has been a while. ;)

Hey folks,

Hey everyone, it's Chris (a.k.a. Nutheninkamhen, as you may remember when I was a moderator from the Impressions days). I am working at Mad Doc Software now, but I simply had to sign up for the CotN forums so I could lurk around and wish all my former Imp co-workers the best of luck. They are a great team, and I have no doubt this title is going to rock, bringing the city/civ-builder to the next level.

I am eagerly looking forward to Children of Denial (sorry, couldn't resist) and I will be the first in line to purchase it when it hits store shelves.

Anthony! It's been an eternity! How are you?!? I will pop into #ChildrenoftheNile every once and a while to see if people are there. I miss the old #CityBuilders days.

It was great seeing folks at the Post Mortem. The Mill has great things ahead of them. All my best!

Is there a time when anyone else is usually on? I've tried a couple of times, but no one else is ever there.

I'm hanging out there, more or less whenever my computer is on. Though I may not be actually there. Anyway. Under the name of novium.

Emule has an IRC thingy, which is handy. So I'll check up on it whenever I check my downloads.
